We’re actually a stronger bully than the USA.. Who do you think South Africa based their apartheid system off of ? Canada’s legislation regarding Indians. At least the USA mostly settled their treaties, ours will be held up in court until every last Indian is dead or assimilated.

It’s how many Canadians think. We don’t learn about residential schools in our general education and negative stereotypes are constantly reinforced. The comments are fairly representative of the mentality I experience in Canada. I can pass, so get to hear all sorts of awesome racist tidbits, mostly from white…

You really don’t get it do you.

“Given the fact this country disproportionately jails more people of color than white people”

....and CBC commenters. Any doubt how deeply ingrained racism in Canada is toward First Nations people? Read any story on CBC and check out the comments.

Is she gay? I had no idea who she was until I read this article nd she does look kinda Beiber-ish. That’s not sexist, that’s just observation. I also think Miley and Beiber look alike so maybe I’m not the best judge of how people look. But that’s hardly sexism.

how is that even yoga, other than its followers want to brand everything as yoga...

I can’t say I disagree that many people who do yoga are cultish about it.

I understand the concept of civil disobedience. There is still discord in a nation however when removing a blatant sign of racism from a state building is grounds for arrest.

I can’t believe the same nation that mourns the shooting deaths arrests this woman. What a load of shite.

I think you meant to reply to someone else, but I hear ya anyway!

I can’t believe you just told her it will all be worth it after she directly said it wasn’t for her....I think she knows herself better than you do.

This is undoubtably awesome.

I’m not trying to curtail anyone’s judginess, this is the internet after all, merely suggesting that when you lay eyes on the amazing Mads or Gillian and the crazy good artistic scenes you might relent a little. Though I do think it’s funny when people generalise certain generations as though other generations were…

No. No. No. The Catholic church ACTIVELY tried to keep gay marriage illegal in Ireland. Their stance was ABSOLUTELY NOT ‘who am I to judge’. They STILL refuse to pay court mandated restitution to survivors of residential schools in Canada. Their policies on abortion and birth control lead to a lot of women dying and…

I fell for it too before I realised. Is there no way to flag users here?

Take a scroll down and look at this user’s other comments. They’re not based in anything other than a desire to be really negative. This person is clearly a troll (which I fell for before I noticed).

OK I got sucked into FavoritePlanetIsYourAnus‘s random trolling before I figured it out. The only thing that is consistent about her/his comments is that they are designed to elicit negative responses.

....you’re literally arguing about people’s best use of time on an internet forum. You must at least sort of get the irony here.

Seriously? You guys don’t have regular priced grocery stores?
